Course Outline:

We start with an exciting one-day field trip to New Brighton Beach and Taylors Mistake where you will conduct geographic research on the different coastal processes that develop sand dunes. After getting out and about you will produce a report explaining your findings and make research-informed conclusions.

We then move on and explore the global issue of plastic in the ocean. This consists of a three-part report summarising what plastic is, why is there so much globally, where it ends up, how different people feel about it, what technology is out there to minimise the issue and make our own informed recommendations.

We then take a look at international tourism and the impact Covid-19 has had globally. We specifically look into three countries that rely on the tourism industry and how the spread of covid has social and economic impacts. We then finish with some important exam prep and an opportunity for another internally assessed assessment.

By the end of this course, you will have completed four internal assessments and two external exams. This will include University Entrance into Geography.

Where Does It Lead:

Tertiary study at university. A passion for geography can lead to careers in environmental science, urban planning, conservation, tourism, public service, data science, research and policy-making and in education.
